What Is ActivePure Technology?

ActivePure Technology is a patented advanced form Radiant Catalytic Ionization (RCI) also known as Advanced Active Photocatalytic Oxidation (AAPC). The basis of ActivePure is Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) which scientists at NASA Research Partnership Center created in the mid-1990s to reduce Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) on the International Space Station.¹ ActivePure has continuously improved and upgraded the technology to meet ever-changing IAQ demands.

How Does ActivePure Technology Work?

ActivePure Technology relies on chemistry, not chemicals, to transform your air into powerful and effective molecules. ActivePure utilizes a photocatalytic process defined as a light source and catalyst to make a chemical reaction more likely to happen by reducing the activation energy required.¹ ActivePure further enhanced the mixed metal matrix, or catalyst, to change how it interacts with the light source, making it more effective.1 The ActivePure cell houses the light source and the catalyst. As air passes through the ActivePure cell, the oxidized molecules are continuously created to combat environmental contaminants.

What Is The Advantage Of ActivePure Technology?

ActivePure purifies the air, but it is not your standard air purifier. ActivePure is an active surface and air disinfection technology that creates proactive protective molecules which fill the space. Instead of waiting for harmful pathogens to enter our system and filter it, we continuously fill the targeted space with oxidative molecules, whether a pathogen is present or not.2 When a harmful pathogen enters space, the ActivePure molecules are ready to work.

Advanced Indoor Air Quality Technology

How ActivePure Technology Works

ActivePure® is a proactive air and surface purification technology designed to eliminate airborne and surface contaminants in real time. Unlike traditional air filters that require pollutants to pass through a system, ActivePure actively neutralizes viruses, bacteria, mold, allergens, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at the source.

Eliminates up to 99.9% of airborne and surface contaminants

Continuously protects in real time—no waiting for filtration

Safe for occupied spaces—no ozone, harsh chemicals, or byproducts

Scientifically tested & proven in independent lab studies

Improves air quality in homes, businesses, schools, and healthcare settings

Built To Withstand Time With Continuous Use And Easy Annual Maintenance

Advanced ActivePure Air Purifiers

ActivePure air purifiers eliminate viruses, bacteria, odors, and VOCs in the air and on surfaces. Available in portable, wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, and HVAC induct systems, they provide continuous purification for any space, ensuring cleaner, healthier environments.

Air Purifier Performance With ActivePure Technology

ActivePure Technology enhances air purifiers with multi-stage air filtration by working with HEPA filters, carbon filters, and UV-C light to provide complete air and surface purification. While traditional filters capture contaminants, ActivePure actively neutralizes viruses, bacteria, mold, and VOCs in real-time, ensuring continuous protection for businesses, schools, and healthcare settings.

Stage 1

Pre-Filtration

The air purifier's pre-filter captures 70% of airborne particles sized 3-10 microns, preventing clogs in the primary filtration system and extending the life of the other filters.

Dust & Dust Mites

Allergens

Human Hair

Pet Hair

Stage 2

Activated Carbon

Activated Carbon filters remove organic, chemical, or gaseous pollutants and eliminate odors from the air. They ensure purified air "smells" clean.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Gaseous Pollutants

Smoke & Odors

Formaldehyde

Stage 3

True HEPA Filtration

Our True HEPA filters use water-resistant polypropylene fibers for durability and have a 99.97% efficiency rate in reducing airborne particulates as small as 0.3 microns, lasting up to 12 months.

Viruses & Bacteria

Mold Spores

Particulate Matter

Allergens

Stage 4

PCO Technology

Photocatalytic Oxidation uses UV and a titanium dioxide catalyst to break down pollutants into harmless molecules, which are then captured by the air purifier's filtration system.

Viruses & Bacteria

Microorganisms

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Mold Spores

Stage 5

ActivePure Technology

ActivePure Technology uses a patented Advanced Photocatalysis to constantly release oxidized molecules and reduce airborne and surface pathogens throughout entire indoor spaces.

Viruses & Bacteria

Microorganisms

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Fungi & Mold Spores
